Hi,
I’m Kirsty, and here’s a little bit about my story to date;
I’ve not always been into fitness. In fact, as a child I hated exercise. I was the kid that was always asking Mum for letters to get out of swimming! I was never fast, so if I had to run, it would be long distance with my only goal being ‘not to come last’! I didn't like it when my feet left the ground, so gymnastics wasn’t for me; I got dizzy turning around so that ruled out dancing, and I walked out after one ballet class because I thought it was ‘too girly’.
However as I approached teenage years I discovered aerobics, Callanetics and Legs, Bums and Tums! I loved these classes and the ‘balancing effect’ regular participation had on my overall well-being. This commitment locked in and persisted throughout my study years - from A’ levels and throughout university, you would often find me at a fitness class during a study break.
My first ‘proper job’ had a gym in the building and offered free personal training and fitness classes - this was my first introduction to weight training and weighted fitness classes. So the love affair with fitness continued but in a way that offered balance in my life and helped me manage my stress better. It was at this job that I studied a Post Grad while working full time, so the commitment to fitness gave me a study and work break - and helped keep me sane!
Before transitioning to working in fitness full time, I spent 25 years working in the marketing field - both overseas and in Australia. Interestingly enough, it was always in the gym (as opposed to the office environment) that I had my best ideas for campaigns I was working on, or creative solutions for problems I was facing.
Over time, I worked out how to listen to my body and adapt my fitness activities to complement my current circumstances; If I was anxious, or worried, I would turn to yoga; if I was angry, boxing was unbeatable! If I was feeling determined and driven, weight training won hands down! Exercise became my non- negotiable to help me strive and deal with life’s pressures.
Motherhood was a catalyst for my career shift into being a fitness coach as opposed to a participant - and it’s not a shift I regret.
Being the ‘Type A’ personality that I am, I studied in depth across all different types of fitness modalities. I taught at the main franchise gyms and some smaller studios too, while Recharge Plus was slowly and steadily growing.
Now, Recharge Plus is about 12 years old and I am proud to say that I love it more than ever before. I am privileged to work in a newly renovated studio with some state of the art fitness and wellness equipment. I have the most beautiful group of clients - in fact the word ‘client’ does not do it justice.
The very ethos of Recharge Plus was to create a safe place and a judgment free zone where people feel comfortable to show up, to work out, to stretch or to simply recharge without the fear of the traditional busy gym environment. This is exactly what we have created.
My clients and I are a team and we are on the journey together, trying to get stronger both mentally and physically and do the best we can with this life journey we are on.
I am truly blessed to be able to wake up every day and do something I am truly passionate about.
